Step 2
Motivation = Set the StageThe Motivation activities will provide a necessary
plan toward a basic understanding of the issues
involved in lesson plan. Before beginning a unit ofmaterial, ascertain what the student knows about t
he subject matter to be covered. This should be
done in a non-graded, non-judgmental, non-
threatening manner. After determining what thestudent knows, introduce the major concepts that
will be covered.

Step 3 The Presentation
Presentation activities are designed to further
enhance understanding. In addition to lecturing, the
teacher contributes by utilizing manipulatives,
visuals, graphic organizers, and various modes ofinteraction between students. In addition to reading
the text and listening to the teacher's lecture, the
student takes responsibility for his learning by
participating in group-work and sharing hisunderstanding with others.

Step 4 Application
Application activities will lead the students toappreciate the overall themes and ideas in lesson. In
order to create further understanding, the student
must go beyond rote memorization and demonstrate
real-world application of the newly-learned
information. This process requires "higher-level
critical-thinking skills" which result in ideas
generated by the student rather than ideas presentedby the teacher or by the text.

relating it to their discussions of the concepts during theset up stage.
This may entail expanding their knowledge base withnew facts, ideas, or opinions. Activities that are typicallyfound in this lesson stage include:
Demonstrations
vocabulary expansion
Examples & samples
text completion exercises
information gap tasks (such as jigsaw reading).
The end goal of this stage is for students to practice newskills while demonstrating their comprehension of the
basic concepts.
Presentation & more.
